CAN WE AVERT WAR? My I Probably the greatest problem that confronts the world today is that of maintaining world peace. When we look aoout us and observe the actual warfare that has recently taken place, and now exists throughout the world, we should do more than view with dreadful anticipation the threat of additional hostilitiesg we Should investigate the causes of the strife, and if possible, find a means by which we may avert what would undoubtedly be the most destructive war in the history of the world. It is Commonly believed that the principal causes of war are economic needs for raw materials and a market for surplus produc- tion, and a desire for an outlet for expanding population. When we realize that these reasons constitute the explanation for the recent agressive policies of Japan and Italy, we should seek an- other solution to the problem than the one which they have offer- ed--war, Some people maintain that it is necessary to redistribute territory in order to make every country as self-sufficient as pos- sible by giving it needed natural resources, and room for its ox- panding population--that the map of the world must be redrawn. Aside from the fact that it would be impossible to achieve this feat because impelled by a feeling of patriotism, no nation would yield a portion of its territory to a neighboring country or per- mit a foreign element within its borders, it is evident that if we were to redraw territorial boundaries today in terms of what are considered the most important natural resources, we should have to change them tomorrow because other commodities would have supplanted them in importance. The futility of changing frontiers is again evident when we realize that the transfer of territory results in no change in ownership of lands or mines. In the Philippine Islands for ex- ample, the United States does not control a single industry, and although we are said to own the islands, America obtains hor products on the same terms with the rest of the world. Accord- ing to the present day excuse for war, the United States is jus- tified in conquering Chile in order to procure some of her nitrates instead of simply purchasing them. The problem about raw materials is not in acquiring them, but the difficulty lies in disposing of them with the existing barri- ers to world trade. D It would be equally unreasonable to suppose that colonial possessions would aid in disposing of surplue production. To dis- count the theory that population pressure leads to war it is but necessary to and Wales is new complain colonies and observe that the density of population in England approximately twice that of Italy. The countries that of being over-crowded possess very sparsely settled authorities on the subject have agreed that Ireland is the only exception to the rule that emigration only temporarily alleviates the congestion within a country.
